Oxygen-Interstitials and Group-V Element Doping for p-Type ZnO
In realizing devices using ZnO, a key challenge is the production of p-type material. Substitution of oxygen by a group-V impurity is thought to result in deep acceptor levels, but a candidate made up from a complex of a group-V impurity (P, As, Sb) on a Zn site coupled with two vacant Zn sites is widely viewed as a candidate. We show using density-functional simulations that in contrast to suc...
متن کاملDirect evidence for As as a Zn-site impurity in ZnO.
Arsenic has been reported in the literature as one of the few p-type dopants in the technologically promising II-VI semiconductor ZnO. However, there is an ongoing debate whether the p-type character is due to As simply replacing O atoms or to the formation of more complicated defect complexes, possibly involving As on Zn sites. We have determined the lattice location of implanted As in ZnO by ...
متن کاملCo-precipitation Synthesis of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) Nanoparticles by Zinc Nitrate Precursor
Nanostructured zinc oxide (ZnO) materials have received considerable interest from scientists due to their remarkable performance in electronics, optics and photonics. ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation method. ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized using Zn(NO3)3 and K2CO3 precursors. The structure of the obtained product was confirmed by the powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) anal...

متن کاملEvidence for native-defect donors in n-type ZnO.
Recent theory has found that native defects such as the O vacancy V(O) and Zn interstitial Zn(I) have high formation energies in n-type ZnO and, thus, are not important donors, especially in comparison to impurities such as H. In contrast, we use both theory and experiment to show that, under N ambient, the complex Zn(I)-N(O) is a stronger candidate than H or any other known impurity for a 30 m...
